Whore! How do you know we have a new hire?

Lobster Boy is on the way out. I'm making like MLY's boss and documenting all the shiat he's doing that's wrong.

I expect another week or two should do it.

How by: Crying at every meeting? or Poisoning him? Enquiring minds need to no.

Asking him to account for every minute of his weekends and verifying his reports by sneaking into his house is my guess.

Crying in the office is the nut low. Not me! It doesn’t help garner sympathy, which isn’t needed in an office anyway, it makes you look weak and unable to handle stress.

Lobster Boy happens to be on a project run by the principal who wanted him hired and every day she tells me how much he sucks, how he’s late, and how he leaves at lunchtime after the “no lunch dtrs note”.

The end is in sight.

I sent him to pick up 5 pizzas from Regina last Friday, and he wasn’t thrilled. He came back and told me he left the pizzas in the kitchen. I went in there to find 4 pizzas. Wtf I sent him back to get the missing pizza. I KNOW he wanted to say NFW to me but he did it. Next time count the pizzas!

Raw seafood in the HVAC ducts sounds about right.

I’m documenting all the shiat he does wrong, being late 3 days out of 5.

If someone at work ordered me to pickup pizzas, I’d **** that up every time until they stop asking me.

Collect baby, and enjoy a little free time after 17 years.

It’s very easy to get depressed with this sort of life change so u need to be aware of that and nip it in the bud.

Speaking of taxes, I’m probably going to federal prison.

I just received an amended 1099 for something I did that apparently triggered a taxable event for $37. I am not filing an amended return.

Maybe I can get some free healthcare while I’m in the joint.

Dont go to work on Friday.

Jose,

While sending a new hire out as the gopher for pizzas is Dids 1.0 GAUCHE, at least you are getting them from(hopefully the original) Reggina's in the North End.

What did Dids call people jr to him again? That was classic

They were 'his employees' iirc.

Good luck with that free healthcare. It's 50/50 that it will cure you or kill you.

Are you feeling lucky? Well, are you?

It really feels like kids are extremely coddled nowadays. I was doing my own tax return at 15 because obviously I wanted the refund. Money is a great motivator, particularly if you aren't being given money by your parents. I had a friend get really excited and proud that their daughter had caught the bus home from school by herself. Her daughter is 14!

My parents never did my taxes, but my lame older brother had my Dad do his until he was like 30.

****ers cancelled the $60/day or whatever meal allowance for truckers this year.

WTH, is doing your own taxes as a child normal in those countries?

Don't 99% of teenagers only need to fill out the 1040-EZ and it's like a 1-pager?

It is required by the child labor laws.

I thought as long as your parents claimed you as a dependent then they also did "your" taxes

been using turbotax ever since I started doing mine. no issues at all. standard deduction is pretty easy

No. We claim our kid as a dependent. He has a part-time job, but it does not contribute the majority of his support. He earns enough that he must file a tax return. For our convenience (and to ensure he does not claim that he supports himself--thus negating our claiming him as a dependent), we file his taxes for him.

When we can no longer claim him as a dependent (hopefully next year), he will have to file his own.

Doesn't your employer offer to pay you a non-taxable per diem directly?
